God and Moses are playing golf. God has a book. Moses hits close to the hole with his first swing. He’s been playing for 5,000 years or so. God puts his book in his back pocket and gets out a five iron. “A five iron?” asks Moses. “You will slice and hit the water trap.” God says, “Arnold Palmer says to use a five iron on this hole.” He slices and hits the water trap. Moses sweeps his arms, the water parts, and he retrieves God’s ball. God puts the ball on his tee and picks up the five iron. “The five iron again? You will slice, already!” “Arnold Palmer says to use a five iron on this hole.” God again hits the water trap. Moses stomps over, throws his arms wide, and gets God’s ball. “I’m not going to get it if you use the five iron again!” “Arnold Palmer says to use a five iron on this hole.” “Fine.” God slices again, goes over to the water trap. He is walking on the water, peering in, looking for his ball. Some guys have been waiting to tee off. They are really angry. One walks over to Moses, grabs his shoulder and whirls him around. “Who does that guy think he is, God?” “No, he thinks he is Arnold Palmer.” I guess I could change it to Tiger Woods. ---
